EulerOS 2.0 SP8 : python2 (EulerOS-SA-2024-2046)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 202936

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the python2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 An issue was discovered in Python before 3.8.18, 3.9.x before 3.9.18, 3.10.x before 3.10.13, and 3.11.x before 3.11.5. It primarily affects servers (such as HTTP servers) that use TLS client authentication. If a TLS server-side socket is created, receives data into the socket buffer, and then is closed quickly, there is a brief window where the SSLSocket instance will detect the socket as 'not connected' and won't initiate a handshake, but buffered data will still be readable from the socket buffer. This data will not be authenticated if the server-side TLS peer is expecting client certificate authentication, and is indistinguishable from valid TLS stream data. Data is limited in size to the amount that will fit in the buffer. (The TLS connection cannot directly be used for data exfiltration because the vulnerable code path requires that the connection be closed on initialization of the SSLSocket.)(CVE-2023-40217)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS python2 security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected python2 packages.
